JOIN THE GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE

JOIN THE GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE

While I was participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge for January,  I found this one!  It’s right up my alley since I love gardening and flowers.    I am just a hobby photographer but I carry my phone or camera with me all the time, never know when that special picture will be waiting!

GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE

Here are the  Guidelines:

The theme will change on the first Sunday of each month. You are invited to join in by posting one or more of your own photographs within the month that fit into the theme and either add a link (ping-back) in your post to mine or link to it via a comment on my post.

To make it easier to find everyone’s posts, perhaps you could add the Tag #GardenChallenge

You don’t have to post on the first Sunday, any day in the month will do and if you have loads of images that fit into a theme then feel free to post several times during the month or create a gallery or whatever suits you best. The amount of photos and detail you post is entirely up to you.

I found this Challenge from this blog:  https://smallbluegreenflowers.wordpress.com/garden-photography/

Just a few flowers from our garden

This is a list of the monthly Themes:

January:
A Winter Garden – you can interpret this in any way you want; a garden in winter (Dec, Jan, Feb in the northern hemisphere) (June, July, Aug in the southern hemisphere), winter flowers, a glasshouse or Winter Garden or even plants inside a glasshouse.

February:
Monochrome – black and white or tones of one colour. Look for texture, shape and patterns. The subject matter is entirely up to you, but should be loosely garden related.

March:
Wild life in the garden – insects, birds, rabbits, hedgehog, snake (!) whatever you can find in your neighborhood.

April:
Macro photography or close-ups of anything you’d find in a garden

May:
Wild flowers – this can be at the side of the road, a meadow, a wild flower garden, a single flower.

June:
The Essence of Summer – what does summer mean to you?

July:
The edible garden – an allotment, herb gardens, a tomato plant, a rice terrace in China, a field of corn; you decide

August:
Garden or Flower Show – local, national or maybe even a small garden open for charity

September:
Plant portraiture – capturing the beauty of a single bloom

October:
A beautiful garden – share with us what is special about your favorite garden

November:
Trees, woods, forests, fungi

December:
Urban spaces – a town square, a flower tub, a hanging basket, a floral clock.

I hope you join in on this challenge and if you do, make sure you tag me so I can see your beautiful photos!
